Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use

The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 incorporates two of the most essential baby items: infant car seats and strollers. It makes it much easier to get on and off public transportation (and walk up and down the stairs).

One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combo. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to switch from the car seat to the stroller without disturbing your baby.

Easy to Use

Car seat and stroller combos that are simple to use are a must for parents. These systems make it easy to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or taking a run. They also help you keep up with your little one's changing needs, so that you can enjoy your family's adventures. Our testers love how smoothly and conveniently these travel systems glide, whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling rear wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain pro combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are all easy to move. However, even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be pushed by one hand.

Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attachment process and straps that slide over the infant carrier's bottom part. It's tempting to skip these steps but it could lead to dangerous outcomes.

Similarly certain models are difficult to fold and store away, which makes them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due its large dimensions and bulky frames. Some users have also found the canopy on this model to be disappointing. On the other hand the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold using the pull of the lever and a click of the button. This model is a fantastic option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other cars, since it is able to be removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

It should be simple to unfold and fold the car seat, whether you're storing it in your trunk, or in a closet. The best combinations we've tested fold easily in one hand and are durable enough to be used on long walks. They are also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be connected or removed using straps, which could be a hassle and make it more difficult for parents to secure the car seat correctly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo Prams For Active parents its convenient features and sturdy construction, which include a large storage basket that is accessible from the front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, an exclusive feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and securing the straps.

It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great option for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 stroller car seat have also scored very well in our tests of ease-of-use. Both feature one front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also have a movable swivel wheel, perfect for shopping or running errands. The only downside is that they are heavy and may be difficult to lift up when carrying a baby in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a handy guide. Other models we tested such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2, and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively simple to put together. In contrast, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps - connecting the lower anchors and using straps that are placed over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base and then remove it from there.

In our tests, it took around 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby Cruz. It's a fairly simple process when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. Most of these models have an easy method of attaching and removing the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
